Questions To Ask

Make personal connections to the book (what's your favorite snack?)

Read it a second time pausing each page to see if children remember what comes next

At the end you can children about their favorite illustration or favorite part of the book, ask them why it is their favorite. 

 
Things To Do

Set up playdough, cookie cutters, rolling pin as a starting point, and offer children the opportunity to participate

Engage children’s language by asking open ended questions “What are you making?” or “What are you going to do?” 

You can model rolling playdough and using cookie cutters, children may also do the same
